Chapter 43: Assassination!

The night is as cool as water, but Ganquan Palace is still noisy and lively.

After deciding to assassinate the king of Yiqu and force Yiqu to rebel against Qin, Fan Sui planned carefully. King Yiqu now resides for a long time in Ganquan Palace, which is located on Lishan Mountain, thirty miles east of Xianyang.

The current Lishan is far less famous than later generations. Decades later, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, set up his mausoleum at the northern foot of Lishan, and Lishan became famous.

Thousands of years later, there is a Mulan poem by Nalan Xingde that mentions Lishan, which makes the world's infatuated men and women know the eternal love between Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei on Lishan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain and zero bells did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. ”

Although Ganquan Palace is located outside Xianyang City, it is not affected by the curfew in Xianyang, which is convenient for assassination. However, Lishan belongs to the garden forest of the King of Qin, and ordinary people cannot approach it. After the temptation of pretending to be a businessman yesterday, Fan Sui found that Ganquan Palace was heavily guarded. After all, it was the residence of the Empress Dowager of Qin and the King of Yiqu, and the Qin State defended Ganquan Palace very strictly.

In this case, the difficulty of the assassination can be imagined. Unless you find someone who is familiar with the topography of Ganquan Palace to lead the way, or you can retreat to the next best thing and find the blueprints of Ganquan Palace, then there is a certain hope.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and with the opening of the way for money, Fan Sui soon inquired about the person in charge of building Ganquan Palace. All his circumstances are under Fan Sui's control. Before leaving, the thirty dead soldiers that King Han handed over to Fan Sui are now coming in handy.

That night, a group of black-clothed people came uninvited to a family in Xianyang City.

"A good man spares his life!" The man got up tremblingly.

The man glanced at the bronze sword resting around his neck, which glowed in the dim candlelight. Although he was extremely frightened in his heart, he still said flatteringly: "There is a little money at home, so the good man can take it." Don't hurt my family's life. ”

The leader of this group of black-clothed people was dumbfounded, smiled gloomily, and said, "Senior engineer! Don't be afraid. We don't come here for money, but for the sake of wealth. ”

With that, a large handful of gold was thrown on the desk. In the dim light, the gold shimmers with seductive colors.

Looking at the money in front of him, the senior engineer in the mouth of the black man did not dare to accept it. Since the other party knew his name, he must have a plan, and immediately replied cautiously: "If the hero has any requirements, just say it." The villain didn't dare to disobey, but this golden villain never dared to accept it. ”

"What do you say?! Do you dare to give you something from the boss? Who do you think we are?! The other man in black raised his sword indignantly and scolded angrily.

Looking at the boss of the man in black with an unhappy face, Gao Gong was even more panicked, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate." ”

The boss of the man in black smiled and said, "That's right." You see, everyone cooperates, and things are so easy to do. This time, we really have something to ask for! ”

Listening to this gloomy laughter, the senior engineer broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, so he could only say yes.

"Truth be told, we're horse bandits. Now I am very tight on my money, and I want to invite the Empress Dowager of Qin to sit in our cottage and ask for some money to spend. But Ganquan Palace is too big, ** Xilu. No, we bothered late at night and wanted to ask the senior engineer to show us the way. ”

Listening to the tone of the man in black, it usually seemed that he was inviting a relative to visit the house, and the senior engineer's head was suddenly confused.

They actually dared to fight the Queen Mother's idea! Don't you want to live? Yes, he is just a small person who designs and supervises the palace, except for this, who will come to trouble himself!

It's just that this is a great crime to exterminate the race! If you say yes, it's over. But the Night Man is a murderous demon at first glance, and if he doesn't agree, he will definitely not survive tonight. Gao Gong struggled in his heart.

The boss of the man in black didn't hear the reply he wanted, and he wasn't in a hurry, he just played with the dagger in his hand, walked up to a little girl casually, and said, "Which girl is this, she looks so beautiful." I just don't know if it's beautiful to have a few cuts on my face. ”

After speaking, he wanted to take the dagger and make it real. The little girl, who was no more than eleven or twelve years old, was immediately frightened, and her tears fell down, and she turned her head and looked desperately at her father.

The senior engineer exclaimed, "Don't! ”

With a snap, the man in black who was guarding him slapped him over, stopping him from continuing to make sounds. However, the boss of the man in black stopped, turned around and asked, "What?" Figured it out so quickly? ”

Gao Gong gasped heavily, as if he was replenishing the lack of oxygen caused by the mouth being covered, and replied weakly: "I will give you the drawings, please don't hurt my family." ”

"That's right!" The leader of the men in black looked up and gestured.

The black-clothed man behind Gao Gong nodded, and followed Gao Gong to take out the drawings of Ganquan Palace from the dark compartment in the corner of the wall, the drawings were very detailed, and they didn't look like they were fake. But the man in black still looked very carefully, pointed to one of the dotted lines and asked, "What is this?" ”

The senior engineer glanced at it and replied cautiously: "It was a secret passage that we secretly built to escape for our lives." Heroes also know that those of us who are craftsmen often end up dead ends once we build mausoleums and palaces. The big ones don't want us pariahs to be so familiar with where they're staying. However, Ganquan Palace is an exception, the Queen Mother was kind and did not kill us. ”

"Where is the passage open? Is it filled? The Boss in Black asked with a little eagerness.

Originally, my group thought that there would be death and no life because of this. Although they are dead, they also do not want to die needlessly.

With 30 people attacking the Ganquan Palace, which was guarded by 3,000 people, the hope of success was really slim. Now there is a sudden turnaround, if there is really a secret passage, his group can sneak into Ganquan Palace without knowing it, and then retreat quietly.

"It shouldn't be discovered", the senior engineer wiped his cold sweat and said: "We built it very secretly, the exit is in the abandoned old well in the apse of Ganquan Palace, and there is no clue at all if you look at it from above." ”

After carefully asking about the entrance and exit of the dark passage, the man in black finally put his mind at ease. The boss said: "Thank you so much, Senior Engineer, you really helped us a lot." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Rest assured, heroes, I will move out tomorrow, and the whole family will remain incognito and not ask about the world. ”

"I believe in the senior engineer's personality, it's just" The man in black waved his hand, and the man in black, who was about to loosen the tie and release him, choked the neck of the senior engineer's family of seven with a hideous face.

"Why don't you keep your word," said the senior engineer with a struggle.

"I'm still more convinced that dead people don't give away secrets. Senior engineer, you can keep the flowers under the ground for this hundred gold! It's troubled times, and it's probably better to be dead than alive! ”

In the muttering of the boss of the man in black, the seven members of the senior engineer's family died of popularity.

"And two! Hurry up! ”

That night, a fire broke out between the senior engineer and the left and right families, and because of the curfew order of the King of Qin, no one dared to go out to put out the fire, and none of the 23 members of the three families were spared. After an autopsy, all 23 people died of suffocation. Xianyang ordered the case to be hastily closed, and the matter was not mentioned.

After the drawings of Ganquan Palace arrived, Fan Sui was also overjoyed. Except for a dozen people who were left on standby in Xianyang, the rest of them all set off for Qingyang, the capital of Yiqu State, the next day. And the main force of the assassination operation, the thirty dead soldiers, had also left Xianyang to prepare for the assassination that night.

All of a sudden, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings! No one knew that the huge whirlpool was quietly condensing in Xianyang.
